Happy Vernal Equinox!

That's what we get when Spring has sprung!Yesterday was a busy day for me, and an exhausting one. Biko woke up nauseous, didn't eat until after noon, barfed it up a couple of hours later. Clean up!Also, there was yard work involved later on, and the yearly poopy scoopy session out front (not as bad as all the years past), still very unpleasant. The sun was shining, and it was really nice out. I felt bad about the pups not being able to run free, so I let them out in the backyard to run around. Big mistake! I was sitting underneath the big sun umbrella, crocheting for about five minutes, when I saw both of them eating mud! Yuk! But they sure thought it was delicious. Happy was galloping around like a young horse, jumping in the air with all four legs at once, and doing the puppy run around the whole yard, circling Biko, while she was looking on, like she was dizzy just from watching.So, I sent Biko in, David could clean her up. She was just a little less dirty than Happy was. I had to catch him first.Only his chest was clean, the face, the belly, legs, tail everything was dirty and it stank! Normally they would get the hose down, but it's too cold for that. So I had to give them a bath in a small tub, where they can only stand with two legs, while the other two are outside the tub.

After all the romping around, Happy slept deep for an hour. Then he got up and threw up some black goo without any warning at all. Clean up! I was not surprised. Just waiting for Biko to do the same.
